This document discusses the social status and image of Romanian women between 1945-1989. It aims to outline the image of women in the communist period as builders of socialism, and examine whether these attributions are still present today. During communism in Romania, women were expected to be great mothers while also being good socialist workers, not facing discrimination in male-dominated jobs. Beginning in 1966, Romanian women's fertility was permanently supervised by the state. While Ceausescu supported women's employment, they tended to hold low-skilled jobs and earned less than men. Traditions, values, and the important role of the church have contributed to Romanian women still facing unequal treatment nowadays.

10. Beginning with 1966 and until 1989
revolution, Romanian women’s fertility
was permanently supervised by state
officials.
In order to pursue his goals, Ceausescu was
very supportive towards the employment
of women in all areas of activity.
Ceausescu began to glorify women in
terms of its role of "mother of the nation"
- a concept of gender identity.
Women tended to dominate low-skilled
jobs and certain professions such as
medicine and teaching, and, on average,
earned less than men.

12. “For working mothers, harassed, struggling to
fulfill the tasks at work, take children to school
or kindergarten and to make purchases on the
way home, to cook, to clean, to wash, to help
children with homework and take them to bed,
to make notes for session topics for the day or
during the qualification to which they were
entered, super-woman was not only an insult
but a joke.” Barbara Einhorn

15. Engels say that unnatural character of man's
domination over women in the modern family
and the need to establish real social equality
between the sexes, will be presented as
urgent only when men and women are truly
equal before the law.
Also, as Nagel says: “women are thought by
traditionalists to embody family and national
honour; women`s shame is the family`s
shame, the nation`s shame, the man`s
shame”.
ButWomen in Ceausescu's Romania
anonymity aesthetic consequences dual and
even contradictory: it is idealized symbol of
the nation, yet is powerless victim of socialist

the same desire for peace
and equality between
genders as have all the
women of the world ”.
